Abstract

Ultrasound imaging is a popular and non-invasive tool used in the diagnoses of liver disease. Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease and it can advance to liver cancer. Early detection and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent liver cancer. However, ultrasound image analysis is very challenging, because of the low signal-to-noise ratio of ultrasound images. To achieve the higher classification performance, selection of training regions of interest (ROIs) is very important that effect to classification accuracy. The purpose of our study is cirrhosis detection with high accuracy using liver ultrasound images. In our previous works, training ROI selection by MILBoost and multiple-ROI classification based on the product rule had been proposed, to achieve high classification performance. In this article, we propose self-training method to select training ROIs effectively. Evaluation experiments were performed to evaluate effect of self-training, using manually selected ROIs and also automatically selected ROIs. Experimental results show that self-training for manually selected ROIs achieved higher classification performance than other approaches, including our conventional methods. The manually ROI definition and sample selection are important to improve classification accuracy in cirrhosis detection using ultrasound images.
